Be prepare with our first aid kit

If having a first aid kit at home is a good idea, then having a travel first aid kit on holiday is a great one idea. As part of our Breakdown & emergency range the RAC car first aid kit contains the Government’s Health and Safety executive (HSE) recommended items to ensure you have everything you need in case of an emergency. From wipes to eyewash, safety pins to dressings and bandages it contains what you need to provide immediate basic care.

Whether you are driving somewhere new unsure of the local area, backpacking in the countryside far from the nearest doctor or hospital or even caravanning to a holiday park bringing a variety of low-level hazard equipment with you owning a first aid kit will give you the equipment you need to deal with an incident there and then.

If owning a first aid kit at home is necessary, taking one with you when you are going abroad is vital. If you are travelling to a foreign country and are unable to speak the language, read the signs or understand what the locals are saying then it is essential you have access to immediate care. As part of the Breakdown & emergency range, our car first aid kit will ensure you are never far away from treatment.

Designed with the motorist in mind, as well as its sturdy storage case with Velcro pads to secure to the side of your car boot our RAC first aid kit also contains a guidance leaflet. This leaflet provides all the information you need and addresses any questions or concerns you may have when having to use the kit, it deals with everything from wounds and bleeding, suspected broken bones and burns to illness. As some people avoid helping for fear of making a situation worse our guidance leaflet will give you the confidence not just to act, but to act knowing you are doing the right thing.
